Aftermarket Wheels

I'm happy to help! You are correct it has equal clearance front and rear.

This can be tricky for my case then. As I'm trying to go for non staggered setup to save tire cost in the long run. As such I will have to accept some non flushness in the rear if I am using the front as my reference. Great help John!

John can you post 2 more photos? Front and rear, taken from the fender top down. I wanna see the flushness. Many thanks!

You can always use spacers in the rear.

Anyone willing to share some success story with width and offset? I find these info very limited here.

Agree, anybody posting wheel pics should post all the wheel and tire specs plus a side profile pic to show how the wheel aligns with the body.

Rocket I'm trying to avoid spacers as much as I can.

Side profile to see how the wheel close up the arch gap. Top profile to see how much it flushes with the body.

Thank you John. These are inch perfect!

Come to think about it. Running 245 on the rear is really stretching the tire on the 10" wheels.

The R888R tends to run wide. Worked great in this particular application and even under extreme load the wear patterns where fine.

John, glad you liked the package. we kinda had to pull a rabbit out of a hat with such short notice, be we did it!! the stinger looks absolutely SICK

Hey Guys,
Since I haven't found a thread for Aftermarket wheels, I post all Pictures here.

Feel free to extend the list.
It would be great if you have Names and Sizes to them.

I need to know what 19 or 20 inch wheel sizes I can run on all 4. I can’t have staggered with all season tires in the mountains. Any ideas on size?

Yes agree. When I used to track with the older model R888, the profile is very broad.

If u are going for non staggered, your choice will be much more limited which will also make your selection easier in a way. Firstly, using front as a guide, u can choose either 8.5" or 9" width. Going too wide will have knocking issue when turning. Next is offset. Depending on how flush u want and whether u are going to lower your car. If you are not lowering your car, the following should work.

19x8.5 ET30
19x9 ET35
20x8.5 ET30
20x8.5 ET35

For tires, it is another calculation. You will need to ensure diameter stays near our stock setting of 660mm. For eg choosing 255/35/19.

Hope these help

If not lowering can we stay with the stock tire profile with 20" rims to fill gap?

I’ve seen other guys running the same tire profile with 20’s. The bigger question is what offset?

No I’m not lowering it and I went to Car ID.com that a car shop told me to put the stinger in and it will get me all the Rams 1819 and 20 that will fit the car so there’s actually quite a few options

I worked with these guys on a set of wheels on my Miata track car. Love that they are flow formed, rather than cast, so in theory they are both lighter and stronger. And if you notice their prices, they are petty reasonable, and will also do custom colors.
